Ted will NOT make any draft day trades or sign any big name FA.(this was easiest predicition to make)

Currently I see 49 of the 53 spots taken, now there will be injuries during TC that will change that #, if Worthy and Sherrod are not ready that’s 2 more spots, if Finley do not come to some kind of agreement that’s 1 more.

So there could be as few as 4 and as many as 8 spots for Draft Picks, UDFA’s and FA signings to compete over at the beginning of TC.

Packers have 8 draft picks, I am not going to try and guess when and who but just going to take a shot at positions,

This list is premature ejaculation. You can have redo after the draft Buckeye.

I don't see how Crabtree, Taylor, or Williams have done enough for an automatic roster spot.

At outside linebacker I'd keep Clayroids, Perry, and Moses and bring in fresh meat for the other two; and in the middle we have a mess until we know what Bishop and Smith can do. Brad Jones was a wonderful surprise, and until Hawk gets beat out he stays put. High hopes for Manning but fresh meat needs to be added.

Running back is a mess too. Nobody can stay healthy - no suggestions.

We need to draft our Center of the future, and figure out who is our LT of the future. Lang was a disappointment last year, but he can have another year to prove he was worthy of his contract.

Dline is stoudt, but they lack length to put pressure on the quarterback - need to start drafting taller Dlineman.

I'm not happy with the safety position yet. Woodson can't cover the ground he needs to anymore, plus his collarbone injuries are nothing to dismiss - very risky player to keep around. I like Burnnett, but wish he was a little farther along. Wouldn't mind seeing another player added.

Corner - pretty much good to go. Shields really came back strong last year.

Injuries on both sides of the ball really hurt us. Is it time for a new conditioning program and coaches? Seems to me one of the youngest teams year in and year shouldn't be one of the most injured teams too. Something doesn't compute there.

Yep. (I am hopeful for Worthy.)

So there could be as few as 3 and as many as 7 spots for Draft Picks, UDFA’s and FA signings to compete over at the beginning of TC.

Mostly yep.Maybe 45-48 players return. Some of that based on injuries or perhaps dealing player or two for picks in 2014.

1RB, 1FB, 1 C, 2 DT’s, 1 WR and 1 S

no FB. RB, C, DT, WR, S for sure. OLB, G, DE, TE, QB are possible for the other 2. It is even possible Uncle ted packages a few to move up and grab a better quality player. He could end up with as few a 5 draft picks.

Jerel Worthy won't see the field until week 10 at the earliest. I'm betting he goes from PUP to IR.

Doubtful.

I predict more turnover than you, Buckeye. I dumped players like Bush, Hawk, Crabtree, Jones, Taylor, Saine because I think they are prime spots to get younger and cheaper. I will be wrong in some areas but it's a fun exercise for February.

I think Benson may be the only player you list on the bubble that I think has a chance. The rest are getting too old/ injured to offer much.

Dakota made an excellent point on one of the youngest teams in the NFL, consistently being one of the most injured.

McCarthy needs to check this. I know we've had the big, torque injuries like compound fractures (Sherrod), collarbone fx (Woodson x 2), knees (Worthy, Finley, etc), but there are a lot of others that have kept many players unavailable on Sundays. Matthews misses games with a hammy every year. Williams and House with shoulders.

SF lost 3 players to injury last year?

Something has to give.

We have plenty of open spots for new players to challenge into the 53. While it is early, DL, LB, TE and RB look to be the positions with the most openings. Maybe as many as 2 or 3 each. That doesn't include OL or WR, where new talent should be added. I would think it is safe to say we may see 12 or more new players on our 53 this year.

I have to wonder if CM3's hammy injuries are because he knows he is the only one that can get there on a consistent basis so he pushes himself too much trying to get there a half step sooner and ends up pulling or at least tweaking the hammy.

It would be nice if he was able to flush the qb into the waiting arms of the DE or the other way around. The DE or OLB pushes the QB to him.

Yeah, the only locks on our DL IMO are Raji and Pickett. We must be able to do better than CJ Wilson... I really want to see that wpr!!!

How about we ditch Finley's $8.25M cap hit with his release, spend that money, along with some saved by Woodson's release, by signing Goldson at S and Canty at DE, then draft another monster DE in Margus Hunt? I think that should do the trick. Take care of both the front end and the back end of the D, with plenty of picks to spare.

play2win,

I like you're thinking, I just hope you don't get too dissapointed when this doesn't happen.

We will all find out in a few days, but Teds track record has shown he is not going to jump into FA with the checkbook open.

He will probably wait and let other teams throw their money at all the 1st tier fa's then see what is left.

I think it's been proven that a team cannot buy a championship.

Like it or not, Ted seems to be more loyal to his draft picks and UDFA's he has signed than other GM's.

He is going to give them every chance in the world to develope and become part of The Team.

Never know, this could be the year, Ted goes crazy and brings in a top FA, but odds are he won't.

With Pickett's career probably coming to an end soon, I agree that Ted will look for at least 1 DE, probably a DT also.

Supposably there is a lot of D-line talent to be drafted this year, let's just see what happens.

Enjoy the ride – It kicks and just keeps on kickin’. "Stats are for Losers"
